- The Campus is huge. You can walk around many places.
- The academic buildings are big and can accommodate many students at a time.
- The placements and internships offered by companies are good.
Dislikes
- The food given by the mess is just worst and disgusting.
- The hostel rooms are very small and the bathrooms are not clean.
- The teachers don't care if you are understanding anything or not.
Course Curriculum Overview:
They are introducing new subjects that may work well in near future. These subjects are good to be learned about.
They should completely remove the subjects that are not beneficial to students as they are irrelevant to course or a waste of time due to non-usage in their future work.

Course Curriculum Overview:
The course curriculem is highly relevant and comprehensive designed to provide a strong foundatiom in core engineering subjects ,It alligns well with industry standards ,However there is a room for improvement ,such as offering more electives in emerging fields like AI,Iot and data science and updating course content to reflect the latest technological advancements .The exam system has one midsem and one endsem per semester ,i think the difficulty level is moderate because 90% of the class gets passes in the exams

- The lush green campus is too soothing to live in. Hostels are very huge and the mess food is far better than any college in Odisha . For pure vegetarians there is a whole separate mess without onion and garlic.only two student live in a single room.
- Academics is good and manageable . Weekly classes are of very short duration and less classes on a day to have a lot of extra time . Teachers are not that strict or difficult to deal . Academic pressure is low compared to IITs and IITs.
- There's a board called SAC(Student Activity Centre) for all kind of sports and extra curriculars. There are every type of club according to your interest. From art to business, from robotics to craft , from cricket kho kho . One fest each month 🎉
Dislikes
- The badminton courts in every hostel is made outdoor . The room is a little short for two people (but quite adjustable) . The hostel mess quality degrades as you move to another sem. For 1st yr boarders rules are strict. No electric appliances allowe
- NIT Rourkela sem exams are too stressful to deal with Very strict and very difficult to make youmself able to escape a back .
- There is a shortage of cricket field and football fields and also no mat for kabaddi . In most of the clubs they don't teach you much they just expect you to learn yourself and work in the club. The snacks and drinks items are expensive inside campus
Placement Experience:
I am a first year so don't know much about placements an internships.
Avegmrage package is - 10-12 lakhs
Median package - 8-9 lakhs
Highest domestic package - 52 lakhs
Highest international package - 1.2 crore
The average placement percentage of all branches are more than 90 always. Even some branches like mining and ceramic have 100% placements. After the 6th semester students are eligible for campus placements and after 4th sem students are eligible for internships.
I have just gave the fivestar but I am a first year student remember.
